When I was in New York a couple of months ago, I was delighted to be invited to join Shai Davidai on his podcast, “Here I Am”. 

Shai is the former assistant professor at Columbia University Business School, who went to war against his seat of unlearning when it became the front line of the campus war against Zionism and the Jews that erupted after the Hamas-led atrocities against Israel on October 7 2023. 

We discussed the moral collapse of the west with the destruction of truth and rational discourse, the intersection of anti-Zionism and antisemitism, and the disintegration of the once-admirable Britain I had known.
